I had forgotten all about Boontling - when I lived in the Bay Area it was something everyone knew about. But now it's endangered. Sigh. I guess calling it an invented "language" is slightly overstating the case - it sounds like it's just lexical substitution - but it's a lot more extensive than you'd expect, not to mention truly cool. (HT to JJ for the story.)
